Equestria Girls Christmas: Santa Claus is Comin to Town

Well, a few years passed and as soon as Kris was old enough, the Kringles set up a little school for him in their home. They taught him all of the essentials. How to read, write, talk, and count stars on a clear, crystal night. The most important thing they taught him, however, was how to make toys. That's right. Make toys. That was the Kringles' main occupation. They were toymakers. Yes, even Twilight and Fluttershy. The only problem was there were no children to give them to. See, Sombertown was on the other side of the Mountain of the Whispering Winds, if you recall. And the little elves just couldn't make it past the Winter Warlock. And as a result, the toys were instead piled up outside the Kringle house. Not even Fluttershy or Twilight dared to go near the mountain.

You see, Fluttershy, true to her name, was incredibly shy and often startled easily. So for her, going towards the mountain was absolutely out of the question. As for Twilight, well, she had a traumatic experience near the mountain. One of the Winter Warlock's monster trees grabbed her when she was younger. She had barely managed to get out of there before the Winter Warlock showed up. Since then, she had stayed clear of the mountain all together. Even so, she really wanted to see the Kringles' toys get played with by Sombertown's children just as much as Tanta did.

"It's really quite sad," Tanta said one day while looking out the window at the toy stack. "We will never be able to transport our toys over the mountain."

"Someday when I'm bigger, I'll take them for you, Tanta Kringle," Kris said reassuringly.

"That will be the day. We will be great toymakers again as we once were."

"When was that, Tanta?"

"Oh, years and years ago," she explained getting out the Kringle history book. "The Kringles were world-renowned. For you know, we were the very first royal toymakers. The first toymakers to the king!"

She then explained things further with a song:

As if by instinct, Kris made his first toy on his first try. The Kringles, Twilight and Fluttershy were so proud of him that they all clapped at his handiwork. But the Kringles and the girls weren't his only teachers. The woodland animals taught him, as well. From the deer, to the squirrels, and even the rabbits. The seals, however, taught him the most important. It was how to have fun and of course, how to laugh, real hard and wonderful, like he meant it.

Well, years went by, and finally Kris was a fine young man. This meant that he could finally fulfill his promise and take the Kringles' toys across the Mountain of the Whispering Winds.

"It would be nice if somebody played with our toys," Wingle said.

"If only one of my dollies could be held tight by a little girl," Tingle said.

"It's decided! Tomorrow, I leave for Sombertown," Kris exclaimed.

The Kringles and the girls cheered. They were so excited that someone was finally going to play with the toys that they worked so hard on.

Later that night, at approximately 3:00 in the morning, Kris was packing the toys in a sack when he heard Tanta come in the room.

"Did I wake you up?" he asked.

"I was awake, anyhow," she explained as she handed him a box. "I made this for your trip."

Kris opened the box and was surprised to see that Tanta went through all the trouble to make him a red Kringle suit in his size for the trip to Sombertown. And to this day, he's worn one just like it. A red suit with white trim, along with a black belt and black boots. Well, once everyone woke up the next morning, Kris said goodbye to all his friends, the girls, the Kringles, and the animals.

Just as night was falling, Kris started to make his way through the dismal forest, which lay at the foot of the warlock and Sunset's mountain. As he was traveling through it, he suddenly bumped into a penguin, who was going through the forest rather quickly. Kris soon found out that the penguin was lost and looking for the South Pole. He offered to take care of him and he named him Topper. He then led Topper towards his destination of Sombertown, when the two of them were suddenly stopped by an ominous voice.

"Who dares go near this mountain?" the voice asked as snow started falling.

Topper leapt into Kris's arms as Kris slowly backed away. Another voice then boomed, giving out a warning.

"Go back! Or you are... doomed!"

"Come on, Topper!" Kris exclaimed.

The two of them ran as fast as they could to get away from the voices of both the Winter Warlock and Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer laughed with the Winter Warlock as they fled from the mountain.

"That was so good!" Sunset laughed.

"No time to celebrate," Winter Warlock said. "We shall get him when he returns. He's got to cross our mountain on the way home. And then... ha, ha, ha! No more being a nice guy!"

"I like how you think!"

The two of them laughed sinisterly as they plotted to get Kris on his way home for trespassing on their turf.

Speaking of Kris, both he and Topper eventually made it out of the dismal forest and saw Sombertown straight in the distance.

"There's Sombertown just sitting there waiting for us and our good Kringle toys!" Kris exclaimed excitedly.

That's what they thought. But what they didn't realize was at that very moment in the Sombertown City Hall, the mayor, Burgermeister Meisterburger, was about to make a grand entrance to the people of the town. As he traveled down the steps of City Hall, however, he suddenly tripped over a toy duck, causing him to fall all the way down the stairs.

Sometime later, Burgermeister Meisterburger was in his quarters laying down in his bed with an ice pack on his head. His doctor took his thermometer out of his mouth and examined it.

"Your temperature seems to be normal, sir," he said. "But it was just as I suspected. According to your x-ray, you've broken your funny bone."

The doctor headed out the door and the Burgermeister asked Grimsley what it was that caused him to trip. Grimsley revealed that it was the toy duck on the steps. Burgermeister Mesiterburger was furious. He hated toys.

"Either they are going or I am going!" he exclaimed.

He then ordered Grimsley to write down a new law that he was about to endorse through song:

As soon as he finished telling Grimsley the details, the law was made official and it was as follows:

Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral and unlawful. And anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon.
NO KIDDING

The law was final. Signed and sealed by Burgermeister Meisterburger himself.

Once it was put into effect, the soldiers told the children to give up their toys by the order of the Burgermeister. It was a sad day for the children. They had just lost the ability to play in the streets with their toys.

Kris had just arrived in town at that very moment all of this was happening. The townspeople didn't know what to make of him. He was very strange looking compared to everyone else.

"Good morning, ma'am," Kris greeted a local woman politely.

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself young man," she chastised. "Wearing such outlandish clothes."

"Clothes? Look, all I want to do is give away these toys."

Hearing that very word sent everyone into a panic. They all locked their doors and windows, believing him to be a menace. Kris was so confused. He had no idea what was going on.

As he continued to travel through the town, he saw two children, most likely a brother and sister, doing their chores by the town's fountain. There were also some teenage girls with them. One of them had white skin, deep blue eyes, and purple hair with diamonds in it like a hairpin. She was wearing a beautiful light-purple and pink dress, along with a pink choker that a diamond in the middle. Her name was Rarity.

There was also another girl with cyan skin, magenta-colored eyes and hair with all the colors of the rainbow. Her name was Rainbow Dash and she was wearing a blue-and-grey dress, along with blue-green colored shoes.

Both she and Rarity were also doing chores with the children. The other two, however, were sitting on the fountain watching the others do their chores. One of them had light orange skin, green eyes, and light blonde hair. She was wearing a navy-and-green colored dress, along with an apple-shaped hairpin in her hair. Her name was Applejack.

The final one was a strange girl, to put it lightly. She had pink skin, blue eyes, and pink hair. She wore a purple dress underneath a pink corset that was tied together by a blue bow. Her name was Pinkie Pie.

"Well, what's going on, here?" Kris asked.

"We're doing our chores," the young girl said dryly.

"Yeah, and no more playing," the boy groaned.

"I honestly think that it's absolutely abysmal that they passed this stupid law," Rarity groaned.

"Tell me about it," Pinkie said. "I was just on my way to give the Burgermeister some of my famous Hazelnut Macaroon cookies, but he immediately yelled at me and forced me to drop them! No one's ever gotten mad about my cookies before trying them before."

"Did ya happen to make extras?" Applejack asked.

"Thankfully, yes, I did. I put them in a bag just before leaving."

Pinkie reached into her hair and pulled out a paper bag that smelled like freshly baked cookies.

"May I try one?" Kris asked.

"Absoltivalutely!" Pinkie exclaimed.

She handed him a cookie and he took a bite out of it.

"Wow. These are good."

"Thanks. It's how I make a living. In fact, it's the only way I make a living. Although this year has been really tough with Applejack losing almost half of her crops."

"Tell me about it," Applejack sighed. "Winter came early this year and nearly killed most of our wheat crops. Ma family and I salvaged what we could to make enough dough for our bread and Pinkie's cookies."

"Plus, things have been even harder since we can't really play anymore," Rainbow sighed.

"No playing, eh?" Kris asked as he finished his cookie. "Are you washing out, uh, stockings?"

"Uh-huh. It's one of our daily duties," the boy replied.

"Then we hang them by the fireplace so they dry overnight," the girl added.

"That's the only way they judge you around here, by how many chores you do and how clean your stockings are."

"Is that so?" Kris asked.

The boy nodded his head.

"Well, you don't have to look so glum about it."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just don't like sour faces. And I've got some real nice goodies for you... but not if you look like this."

Kris made a Cheshire grin to illustrate what he meant.

"You better watch out, better not cry, better not pout."

"Why?" the pair asked.

"I'm telling you why."

"Yeah?"

"Because I came to town! And look what I brought!"

Kris dumped the toys out on to the street, much to everyone's surprise.

"Oh, my gosh! He brought toys!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Real toys!" the boy gasped.

"Why, sure!" Kris said with a bow. "Compliments of the Kringles."

"But... but what about the Burgermeister?" the girl asked worriedly.

"What about him? If wants a toy, he can have one. I'll send him a big, red yo-yo."

Pinkie giggled at that comment. She could picture the Burgermeister playing with a toy like that.

"Come on, let's play!" the boy told his friends.

The children were just about to play, when they were suddenly stopped by a woman's voice. Who exactly was it? Kris was about to find out.
